A Father’s Day Tribute to my Dad, Paul T. Weisser
I am thankful to have had great parents. This day came upon me before I could think of something to write about my Dad.
The shortest tribute I can give and the most meaningful to me is.... I always knew he loved me.
Richard Weisser writes about his Dad below.
My father was truly a man of his time. He was a WWII veteran that married after the war, moved to the suburbs, and raised a family of ten kids as the sole provider.
For many of those years, dad worked out of the house. He had a drafting room downstairs in the basement where he created incredible drawings by hand.
He had a unique niche that kept him busy. He drew HVAC layouts for large industrial mills, particularly steel mills. He could hand letter with the precision of a computer, and every dimension had to be verified manually.
My dad and I shared a love for photography. When I married and moved to Georgia, any trip back home involved a photo expedition with my father. Looking back I realize that this was the only time that I had dad “all to myself.”
Whenever I take a photograph to this very day, I think of my father, I still want to make him proud of me and my craft. And I’m pretty sure that he would be thrilled to see what I have produced.
Dad didn’t live to see the age of the digital photograph. Which is just as well, because although his caches of transparencies are fading, the memories of the photography jaunts are not.
After all, he was a man of his time!
Happy Father's Day to all of the dads reading this!
